Implementation details aside it would be very useful if a mechanism can take advantage of GPU monitor APIs like the ones from nvidia perfkit and GL_AMD_performance_monitor. This would also allow us to monitor what is holding up the GPU.
OSX also has a good tools for this purpose. Mostly the GL Profiler, Driver Monitor(similar to nvperfkit) and Shark(similar to oprofile).
I think code for those performance tools should be left out of wined3d. The Apple tools and I think nvperfkit are designed to be used by other processes, not the profiled process. I am not sure about AMD_performance_monitor though. That may be trickier.
